VERBATIM: China’s government says the economy expanded at a 4.9% annual pace in July-to-September, beating analysts’ forecasts of about 4.5%. But that was much slower than the 6.3% annual growth rate of the previous quarter. The Chinese government has issued policy support measures to help the economy. They included raising spending on ports and other infrastructure, cutting interest rates and easing curbs on home-buying.
